low ass car-jack?

[fried]

umm... does anyone know of really low car jacks? or do they just use the manual one to lift the car slightly, then fit the hydraulic underneath!?

the ones that come with the car are usually really flat. the gold ones. i used them on my car and my uncles and they were both low. and worked (Y)

Drive your car on to some blocks of wood. That’s the easiest way to do it. There are low profile jacks but it’s probably just cheaper/easier to drive onto some planks of wood.

blocks of wood are easy and cheap :)

otherwise companies like snap-on have good low profile ones

yeah no-doubt that the Snap-On ones are exceptional but they probably come with an exceptional price-tag :(

I dont reccomend using your OEM jack if you have coilovers or hard suspension set-up.. I find with EG hatch and EK/EJ coupe that it tends to lift up the WHOLE SIDE OF YOUR VEHICLE (not just one corner) and we've killed 3 OEM jacks from this so far.. once the Jack completely collapsed and I was left holding the car's weight in my arms !!!!

yer a low profile long reach snap on one will cost you $500-600ish...:)

just fits under my car and its fairly low
works well

If u have Access to a heavy v6 like a toyota camry or so.. just use the jack from that..
i've used my old camry jack on my lowered CRX and mate's s15's, WRXs etc...
Works well.. has a SWL of 750KG ... so it's heaps..
after raising it up enough just get a trolley jack underneath..
make sure u use safety stands as well..
to remove just transfer the weight of the car from the trolley jack to the toyota-like jack..
and yeh ... the rest is logical

I drove onto fairly skinny planks of wood
Then manouvre the standard jack from where the wheel is, pass it behind and then jack it up a bit, and from then on use the hydraulic jack... the car is very low...
